AFURI Ramen + Dumpling LA

Japanese restaurant · Historic Core

"While much of the Arts District comes alive at night, Afuri offers an outstanding option for daytime ramen cravings. Here, chewy housemade noodles swim in a rich yuzu shio broth, or a vegan hazelnut tantanmen with spicy sesame miso tare. Though Afuri specializes in ramen, its non-broth-based options like donburi bowls and hand rolls are worth an order." - Rebecca Roland
